Spring Baseball

Finally was able to get a baseball game in amongst all of these lacrosse games. The East Orientals took on the Spencerport Rangers at Spencerport on April 4th. The game stayed pretty close through the first 5 innings that I was able to photograph. Spencerport ended up tacking on a bunch of runs at the end to win 8-2. Click here for the rest of the pics...

One week I'm sweating from the heat and the next week, like on Friday, it's snowing during a baseball game. I was prepared for the cold Friday afternoon but it definitely slowed down the hitting early. Pittsford Sutherland took on the Irondequoit Eagles at Irondequoit on April 9th. Most of the runs were scored late innings as the teams warmed up (but not the weather). Sutherland won the game 8-4 and the weather made me think that my Hawaii trip couldn't come soon enough.

Saturday, April 10th was a beautiful day and I was able to photograph two different games. The first was baseball at Rush Henrietta as they took on Honeoye Falls-Lima. Tough game for the Royal Comets as they lost to a powerful HFL team 16-3. Click here for the rest of the pics...

Arcadia travelled to Gates to take on the Spartans on April 12th. Gates strung some hits together to give them a decent lead and had some strong pitching to win 8-3. Click here to see the pics...

This was the last game I saw before going on vacation a few weeks ago. The game was played between the Cadets and Trojans on April 14th. Hilton's hitting impressed me as they were putting up runs almost every inning. There was a scary moment in the game when one of Athena's infielders was hit in the neck by a throw. He seemed ok as he was helped off the field. Hilton ended up winning the game 11-0. Click here for the rest of the pics...

I was glad to see these teams had their aces going for them when I arrived. I missed seeing Eich last year and wanted to get a chance to photograph him pitching. Wandtke for GC was great too, the only runs scored were due to some errors in the infield by the Spartans. Eich and the Saints came out on top 2-0. Click here for the rest of the photos...

The weather in the last week has been less than sunny and on Friday it looked like the clouds were going to drop some serious rain or snow. The sky opened up in certain areas over Gates creating a small hole in the dark sky. The game did only have a few sprinkles but the threat was always there. Hilton ended up beating Gates 14-5.

I had to shoot some more portraits in Canandaigua last Saturday, so I was able to shoot the Victor v. Canandaigua baseball game. The weather was windy with a little bit of rain falling for the first 6 innings. The Braves had taken an early lead but Victor came back to tie it at 4 sending the game into extra innings. Victor scored a run in the top of the seventh but hail stopped the game in the bottom of the inning. The game was called a tie. Click here for the rest of the pics...
